BSOP Millions opens in São Paulo on Friday with 105 numbered events and R$ 15m guaranteed at the top

The BSOP Millions is the largest tournament festival in the southern hemisphere and the last stop of the Brazilian Series of Poker's 2026 season. It opens on Friday 13 November 2026 at the Complexo WTC in São Paulo and plays through to Saturday 28 November.

We read the tour's day-by-day grid directly on 11 November 2026, two days out, and checked it against what we had already published. The grid now runs to 105 numbered events across sixteen days, and the dates of every headline event match what the tour advertised in October: the Main Event from 16 to 23 November at R$ 5,000 with R$ 10,000,000 guaranteed, the BSOP Championship from 21 to 28 November at R$ 25,000 with R$ 15,000,000 guaranteed, the Millionaire Maker from 18 to 24 November at R$ 1,200 with R$ 5,000,000 guaranteed, and the R$ 250,000 Super High Roller Main Event from 20 to 22 November. A guarantee is an advertised minimum prize pool, not an expected return for anyone entering.

What the grid adds this close to the festival is structure. The Main Event is spread over ten Day 1 flights, 1A to 1J, two a day from 16 to 20 November, each starting with 40,000 chips; the noon flights play 40-minute levels and the 20:00 flights 30-minute levels. The Championship has four flights, 1A to 1D, from 21 to 24 November, starting with 100,000 chips and the longest levels on the schedule at 60 and then 90 minutes. The Start-Up Mystery Million, the R$ 1,500 event built around a R$ 1,000,000 bounty envelope, runs eight flights in the festival's first four days.

The spread of buy-ins is the other story. Eleven events cost R$ 50,000 or more, including R$ 75,000, R$ 100,000 and R$ 250,000 Super High Rollers and two invitationals; at the other end, four R$ 500 Super 500s and a R$ 500 BSOP Primeira Vez for first-time entrants sit on the same grid, and the R$ 200 mega satellites into the Millionaire Maker advertise 100 seats guaranteed. Four events are played for the Instituto Garra charity, where the tour says a voluntary donation of ten per cent of the buy-in at the event cash desk earns twenty per cent extra starting chips.

The mixed-game programme is deeper than most European festivals offer: 8-Game, HORSE, Triple Stud, Teros, two twenty-game dealer's-choice events, a nine-game cup, a 25K nine-game Super High Roller, mixed triple-draw lowball and a PLO hi-lo mix.

One caution carried over from our earlier reads. The BSOP re-numbers and occasionally re-prices this grid as a festival approaches, and the live grid is now rendered by a script rather than printed in the page text, so a figure checked weeks ago may not be the figure at the cash desk. Our Brazil tournament pages now carry each event with its date, start time, buy-in, starting stack, blind-level length and late-registration deadline as the tour prints them, dated to 11 November 2026.
